When I was born my mother was torn crazy
They nearly gave me away to the wrong lady
Doctor says “Sorry, we didn’t see that comin’,
But there’s no way in the world that he came from a black woman.”
I guess I’ve been fighting since birth
I barely had life on this Earth
Already subjected to people and how they judge
Little fair skinned baby resentment was in my blood
I would love to say things got easier as I grew
But conflict in my family was nothing new
My parents in the kitchen they bitching at one another
My brother my role model so playin’ women was cool
Cool until you start to mature start to endure
What is real life and finally admit when you’re insecure
Pure honesty promise me if you can
That you’ll be there to catch me when I land
It’s who I am
It’s who I am
Will you be there to catch me when I land
For who I am?
Need you to understand
Everything I’m not made me everything I am
And if we’re really fam
Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am
(Verse 2)
Who I am is deeper than what they’re giving you
But second guessing my self was my biggest issue
For example at the BET office
Had an awkward conversation with one of my fellow artists he said
“I used to rap just like you
But that was going nowhere so to help my own career
Had to switch it up” stressing he’s one of my known peers
Then I realized he was projecting his own fears
Fear I had the courage of what he urges to be
So instead of showing love he’d rather discourage me
And that’s how people feel when the deal with uncertainty
And certainly would place the burden on any person but me
And see it plain but can’t explain the direction
You can break the mirror but can’t change the reflection
Without a aim and all remains is a question
Will you be there to catch me when I land
It’s who I am
It’s who I am
Will you be there to catch me when I land
For who I am?
Need you to understand
Everything I’m not made me everything I am
And if we’re really fam
Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am
It’s who I am
It’s who I am
Will you be there to catch me when I land
For who I am?
Need you to understand
Everything I’m not made me everything I am
And if we’re really fam
Will you be there to catch me when I land for who I am
